Well, some could say that's a bit of a stretch.
The closest prototype to the FV based Beetle was the VW 38 (1938) at 77 years ago.
Not much comes off that car and fits on an FV.
The FV link pin beam started on cars in '51 (64 years ago)
The gearbox housing (non-split case) started in '61 (54 years ago)
Some to most of the engine parts also started in '61 (54 yeas ago)
Not arguing, just being a VW freak.
